I don't think it's necessarily what the average person of a nation would be like. It's the "feel" of the nation itself. I wonder if it takes a decent amount of Fi to grok these national identities.

Originally I thought INFJ for Japan as well, but after discussing it with someone who knows a lot more about MBTI than I do, I think Japanese national character would be ISFJ (service and duty oriented, deferent, traditional, conventional).
